Abstract

Diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by glucose levels dysfunctions. It involves continuous monitoring combined with insulin treatment. Nowadays, continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs) have led to a greater availability of data. These can be effectively used by machine learning techniques to infer future values of the glycaemic concentration, allowing the early prevention of dangerous states and a better optimisation of the diabetic treatment. In this work, we investigate a patient-specialized prediction model. Thus, we designed a specialized solution based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. Our solution was experimentally compared with two literature approaches, respectively based on Feed-Forward (FNN) and Recurrent (RNN) neural networks. The experimental results have highlighted that our LSTM solution obtained good performance both for short- and long-term glucose level inference (60 min.), overcoming the other methods both in terms of correlation between measured and predicted glucose signal and in terms of clinical outcome.
